Discover information, advice, and prices for The Journal of a Transatlantic, priced at 161.35 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
The transatlantic art dealer Rene Gimpel 18811945 maintained an interwar journal for twentyone years until like many Jews in France he was overtaken by radical political events In this book Diana Kostyrko explores why Gimpels journal should be taken seriously as a sociohistorical document In contextualising the journal including its reception since first published in 1963 she intercuts art history with material culture and a sociology of modernity Firstly setting the art dealer in context the author examines the dominant themes which thread through the journal ranging from the escalation in power and status of European dealers catering to but also rivalling wealthy private collectors to the irresistible pressure of twentiethcentury modernity on collecting practices For all those who are concerned with the European formulation of taste in the fine and decorative arts in the early twentieth century the trend for eighteenthcentury revivalism in France and North America the acculturation of American museums and the rise to stardom of the modern art market on the back of the auction house will find much of value here Overall the author undertakes to distil what Rene Gimpels legacy might be Finally she asks was the Paris art dealer incongruously but ultimately a prophet concerned with the overmateriality of modern society and a cultural pessimist to boot or did he merely reflect a range of common perceptions abroad at the time
